Personal Safety

While driving, lock your doors and roll up your windows. Park in a well-lit area and keep all valuables out of sight and in the trunk. While walking, avoid isolated areas. Walk confidently and with another person if possible. Don't carry a lot of cash and avoid wearing anything that would attract unwanted attention like furs or jewelry.

When answering the door, never let in a stranger for any reason. Always ask service people for identification before letting them in your house. You may want to contact the company to verify their identity. Never, ever pick up hitchhikers. Beware of a stranger who approaches you with a " great " business opportunity. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Never leave your keys in your car, for any reason. Never leave your car doors unlocked. If possible, choose a parking lot with an attendant.

Remove any identification from your personal key ring. Be aware of your surroundings - know who's out there and what's going on. Trust your instincts. If a situation or place makes your feel uncomfortable or uneasy, leave.

We are working to make Westport a Crime Free Area!

At the Westport Police Department, we truly believe that we have a nice and pretty quiet community of 1,510 citizens in our town and approximately 1,800 to 2,000 in our patrol zone along with our State wide jurisdiction. We also assist the Sheriff's Department and the Indiana State Police. Those departments are also available for assistance when needed. Our neighbors are watching out for one another and reporting suspicious activity or persons in town as well as rural outlying areas to our law enforcement agencies.
